Madman. \u003ci\u003eThunderbolt: An American Tale\u003c\/i\u003e tells the true story of Old John Brown: abolitionist, insurrectionist, and American legend. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e As a young boy in nineteenth-century America, Captain John Brown swore to dedicate his life to the struggle against slavery. Years later, he and his sons have joined the fight in Kansas, the epicenter of the national debate over slavery. As the territory nears statehood, abolitionists and proslavery border ruffians clash in increasingly violent conflict across the territory. But John Brown has more in mind than border skirmishes. He aims to eliminate slavery from US soil once and for all--even if that means raiding a government armory in order to arm a national slave revolt. From the Pottawatomie Massacre to the Battle of Black Jack and the Battle of Osawatomie, this first installment in the story of the legendary John Brown traces the rise of the insurrection in stunning detail. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Gritty, gripping, and masterfully illustrated, Wilfred Santiago's telling of John Brown's tale pulls no punches as it unflinchingly recounts the epic struggle across pre-Civil War America. And while John Brown's methods may be questionable, his story is unforgettable. After all, dying is part of the plan.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Wilfred Santiago\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0814255485\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780814255483\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Mad Creek Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/16\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 112\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.65lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.20h x 6.60w x 0.30d","brand":"Wilfred Santiago","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46795620647167,"sku":"9780814255483","price":17.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_294a5a08-e15f-4df4-bd57-2f432c228a01.jpg?v=1744948165","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/thunderbolt-wilfred-santiago-9780814255483","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
